I’m having a problem in my workflow. I have groups created in the project and I create some elements with Dynamo using references of the elements in the groups. But now I have to add those elements i just created to the groups and I can’t find a way to do this with Dynamo. It needs to be done without ungrouping because I have multiple instances of the same group in the project and that would cause a problem if I tried to create multiple equal groups after.

Hi @MathSantos maybe try create a new group with the old grup and the new elements. Cheers

Hi! Thanks for the response. But if I create a group with the new elements and the old groups, I loose the effect of multiple instances of the same group, where I can edit something in one instance and the others are edited too.

Hi @MathSantos I think that you can still modify the old group inside the new group, can you share an example ? Cheers

Group editing is sadly not available in the Revit API. [image] Group Edit mode in API : please upvote this idea! Share Hi everyone, Anybody who uses Dynamo runs into this problem at some point, Editing Groups. I’m talking about adding elements to groups, changing family types, changing builtin instance parameters that can not be changed to “can vary by group instance” like Unconnected height or Base Constraint. these are all not posible right now. Ungrouping and Regrouping is not an option because of all the Attached Detail Groups, Dimensions and other Annotations that would be lost. So please upvote this I…

Hi @timhevel yes you are right you can’t directy with API, but I think that you can still modify the old group inside the new group with the modify button ribbon iside Revit. Cheers

@timhevel thanks for the response! I saw your post and unfortunetly that was exactly what I needed. So I’ll have to work with another solution.

Is there a way to add elements to an existing group using Dynamo?
